Cinephile No. 606 "Snowden"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

"Snowden" did a fantastic job of taking a complicated, technical story and breaking it into an easy-to-follow storyline. As I left the theater, I felt as if I had a better understanding of who Edward Snowden is and was at the time he took monumental steps to do what he believed in his heart of hearts to be right. I also left with a new steadfast belief, Mr. Snowden is a patriot. He doesn't deserve to be exiled in Russia and should be allowed to return home without fear of prosecution. I now believe he did the American public a tremendous service and should be commended for it. It is my hope that President Obama will instruct the Justice Department to do exactly that, but that's just me. You should watch the movie and let me know what you think, but without a doubt, I recommend this film. 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
